All of the given processes represent different aspects of biotechnology. Biotechnology refers to the use of biological systems, organisms, or their derivatives to develop new products or improve existing ones.

Process A, which involves a baker using yeast to make dough rise, can be categorized under biotechnology. Yeast is a microorganism that produces carbon dioxide gas through the process of fermentation, causing the dough to rise and become fluffy. This application of a biological organism to achieve a desired result is an example of biotechnology.

Process B, which involves inserting human insulin genes into bacteria to produce insulin for diabetics, is also a part of biotechnology. This specific method is referred to as genetic engineering or recombinant DNA technology. It involves the manipulation of an organism's genetic material to introduce genes from another organism. In this case, bacteria are modified to produce human insulin, which can then be harvested and used as a treatment for diabetes.

Therefore, all of the given processes - A. A baker using yeast to make dough rise, B. Inserting human insulin genes into bacteria to make insulin for diabetics - can be classified as examples of biotechnology, transgenic organisms (organisms containing genes from other organisms), and genetic engineering (manipulation of genetic material).
